<br />I thought this might be a fun way to gauge the interests of the members of the list. There were many more writers than "option choices" above. Once everyone responds, we could take the winning category and have a new poll on the authors in that category. <br /><br />Also, don't worry too much about it. If you haven't read some of these, just vote based on the ones you know. <br /><br />I've set up the same type of Poll for fun with poets and latin authors as well.<br />

I'm afraid I've only read Xenophon and Thucydides - and I'm definitely not voting for Xenophon!<br /><br />(No offense to those of you who like Xenophon. I simply enjoy not liking him, if that makes sense...)
